"I'm in a hurry, and I want your definite promise to put my mind at ease!" In a moment of desperation, Xinran grabbed Mu Shaosi's hand, but when she noticed his gaze focused on her hand, she awkwardly let go.
"What can I do to make you feel at ease? Is it just about regaining ownership of Xia Sheng Group?" Mu Shaosi looked at Xinran, who seemed startled and quickly withdrew her hand, and smiled gently.
"I don't care whether I can control Xia Sheng Group; I just don't want it to fall into the hands of others or be divided by Auntie and Xia Wenjing and Xia Wenyiyi. That was earned through my father's hard work. Besides him, I believe no one deserves to own Xia Sheng Group!" Xinran gazed intently at Mu Shaosi, trying to read something from his face, hoping to discern what he was thinking so that her heart could find some peace. Unfortunately, she felt inadequate in front of him.
Earlier in the bathroom, she had been wondering why Mu Shaosi had once again forcefully appeared by her side. Did he really fall in love with her and was eager to win her back? Xinran found this sudden thought laughable; it wasn't that she lacked self-confidence or felt unattractive, but rather that a man like Mu Shaosi would find any woman insignificant.
Thus, the only explanation for his behavior was that he had new plans in mind. For someone like him, who had more money than he could spend, life was dull, and he constantly sought new amusements to fill his lonely existence. She was merely a tragic figure who repeatedly became the protagonist in his games.
Xinran bit her pink lips and solidified her thoughts. Wasn't it just using her feelings to add color to Young Master Si's monotonous life? It wasn't as if it would cost her life. Besides, she had already experienced pain once; what difference would it make to feel it again? If Young Master Si wanted to toy with her marriage this time, then she would play along. If he wanted to try something new next time, she would join him as long as she could get what she wanted and prove her worth.
"So, you agree to marry me just for others and not for yourself?" Mu Shaosi asked. Should he call this woman foolish or something else? It didn't matter how foolish she was; she was about to become his wife. No one would dare bully Mu Shaosi's people. He would take good care of her under his wing so that she would only feel happiness and no longer worry about others' matters.
"My father is not just anyone!" Xinran brushed aside the hair blocking her eyes and continued, "Let's not dwell on this issue anymore. Can we talk about something else? For example, when am I going to marry you? Is it just a notarization or do we need a ceremony?"
"It's too early to discuss this now. Before we talk about marriage, we need to sign a contract and reach an agreement first!"
"What kind of contract?" Xinran felt a hint of curiosity. Was it a prenuptial agreement or a post-marriage separation agreement? Regardless of what kind of contract it was, she didn't mind; it was just a game. As long as she approached things with a playful mindset, her outlook would be much brighter!
"A three-month marriage contract! This means our marriage will only last for three months. After three months, we will divorce, and neither party can breach the contract or entangle the other!"
"Is what you said true?" A smile that couldn't be wiped away appeared on Xinran's face. She had thought Mu Shaosi would propose some kind of oppressive agreement, but unexpectedly, it was just a contract for a marriage with a three-month validity period. No matter how she looked at it, this condition was the most beneficial for her. During the three months after the marriage, as long as she kept her heart firmly in place, she could sign the divorce agreement after three months and walk away without a care.
The Young Master Si, skilled in navigating relationships, had set a three-month limit for this game. Was she lucky, or was he just being generous?
"Of course it's true!" Mu Shaosi nodded, his gaze somewhat profound. This woman could show a bit more happiness; upon hearing that she could divorce him after three months, the smile on her face was impossible to hide. Did she think he was a wolf or a tiger?
But never mind; let her be happy for now. After all, she had already stepped into the 'cage' he had specially crafted for her. He had three months to make her beg him not to divorce her. He had plenty of time to torment her. Little woman, just wait!
"Alright, I agree. Whenever you want to sign the contract is fine..." Xinran suddenly noticed Mu Shaosi's slightly gloomy expression and concealed her smile. "You can take charge of everything!"
